Baylor wins KU debate contest
Costume Contest
An ardous three-day event finally ended last night for debaters at the KU Fail Debate Tournament.

A Baylor University debate team won first place in the senior policy debate division.
school policy division.
"It's been a really long weekend," said Bill Trapani, Baylor debater. "All teams were really good, but we are fortunate enough to go to the affirmative side."
He said debate teams had the advantage when arguing for the affirmative because they could focus on the points.
This year's resolution for the policy debate is whether the United States should change its foreign trade policy regarding Iran.
About 150 debaters from 30 universities shut themselves in Wescoe Hall and the Kansas Union for the tournament, which began Saturday afternoon and ended last night.
Ben Biermann, assistant coach of the KU debate team, said it was the largest fall regional tournament in the nation.
He said debaters who competed in the tournament included some from the best teams in the nation, such as Baylor, Northwestern University and the University of Iowa.
Although KU debate teams competed in the tournament, rules did not allow teams from the host university to join the elimination round. KU placed first in the preliminary round.
In each debate, the teams take either an affirmative or negative side of the assigned issue.
First, the affirmative side chooses one example and supports its argument by presenting evidence to the opposing side. Then, the negative side cross-examines each argument. Each team has 10 minutes to prepare for its argument.
Store owners say little can be done to stop armed robbers from striking
By Debbie Myers
Kansan staff writer
A man carrying a gun has robbed two liquor stores and three convenience stores in Lawrence in the past month, and store owners and employees in Lawrence say little can be done to prevent future robberies.
Virginia Romero, owner of Romero's Liquor Store, 805 Vermont St., said the armed robbery in her store Saturday was the second in her 13 years of ownership. It was the most violent of the series of five related robberies.
She said that she would buy a security camera for her store if she could afford to but that she did not have a way to prevent armed robbers.

"When you have an armed robbery, what can you do when there's a gun in your face?" Romero said. "The kind of device can a person have?!"
According to police reports, the suspect in the five recent robberies is 22 or 23 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs about 135 pounds and has a
Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesperson, said the suspect robbed each store by first setting an item on the counter. Then, when the clerk's back was turned, the man pulled out a chrome revolver, put it in his pocket, and then everted around and asked for the money in the cash register.
Todd Anderson, manager of Anderson Retail Liquor, 1806 Massachusetts St., said that because his store was in a high-profile location he had to maintain an online security system, business is continuing normally despite recent robberies
"We have what you call a panic button, and once I push that, it would take about 10 seconds for the police to come out with their guns pulled." Anderson said.
Anthony Mohatt, employee at Convenient Food Mart, W. 910. N.Win St., said he did not expect any problems in the store because a camera was missing. He also said there were two buttons to push to alert police and the store was
on a busy street.
He said it was possible to deter armed robbers but not to prevent them from robbing a store.
"They can come in here with a mask and a gun, and there no way I'm going to touch that button until I get the gun, but then shoot me," Mohafat said.
Bob Carl, owner of Kwik Shop, 1714 W, 23rd St., said that because people were curious about an Oct. 23 armed robbery there, the first in the 15 years he has owned the store, business had increased.
He said the best way to prevent an armed robbery was to handle cash the same way all the time and to be aware of what was happening in the store. He also said his store except a bell that rings when customers walk into the store.
"Everybody worries about it, but I've been here 15 years and there's nothing you can do about it," Carl said. "Most people who have a gun know how to use it. Eventually he'll learn, but in the meantime life goes on."
